Glenn Allen Kittrell, a native of Mobile and resident of Gulf Shores, died Sunday, Feb. 16, 2014.
Born on Feb. 20, 1964, Glenn graduated high school from Evangel Christian in 1982, then Mobile College in 1986 with a degree in business.
He moved to Gulf Shores in the early ‘90s and began his career at Gulf Shores Builders Supply.
In 1997, Glenn graduated from the Southwest Alabama Police Academy, where he pursued his part-time career in law enforcement, working with both the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores police departments.
He considered this to be his “fun” job and would often say, “I don’t know why they pay me to do what I love.” He truly loved being a police officer.
Glenn loved the outdoors and enjoyed surfing, sailing, scuba-diving and boating.
He will be truly missed, as he was a great son, father, husband, brother, uncle, friend and so much more.
He is survived by his wife, Melody K. Kittrell; sons, Aaron and Luke; father, Mac (Sherry) Kittrell; mother, Verna Kittrell Roberts; and brothers, Phillip (Tarrah), Danny (Theresa) and Mark. Glenn also leaves behind many other relatives and friends.
He fought a courageous battle for the past seven years, finally passing peacefully in his sleep, just four days shy of his 50th birthday.
Viewing will take place on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Pine Rest Funeral Home in Foley.
The funeral service will be held at Gulf Shores United Methodist Church on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, at 10 a.m., with interment to follow at Pine Rest Memorial Park.
Glenn was a devout Christian who had put his faith in the Lord.
In lieu of flowers, at Glenn’s request, donations may be made to the Chorodoma Foundation, P.O. Box 2127, Durham, NC 27702.
